How long did this 2005 drought last inΒ Portugal? Did the reservoir fill back up?
Stunning photo.
How hard was it to get down in the reservoir?

I hope our drought in California ends for good by 2017.

I love the blue of the sky against the dry brown of the dirt, it makes for a nice contrast. A great photograph showing how unpredictable Earth is

I remember... both 2005 and 2006 were really terrible on the whole Iberian peninsula (Portugal and Spain), on the latter year this massive Saharan dust cloud blew into the west of Europe right on summer season. It was very displeasing...

This looks just like California! I think we all need to get together and do one big rain dance or something! Not good! Most excellent capture and I hope you get some rain soon! Congratulations on the DD!
